Separation...

In football, coaches and players talk of "separation" -- the ability of a receiver to create space between himself and a defender. For our purposes, it is a function of the standings...to wit, the Southeast:

The Caps have 43 games remaining, 15 of them against divisional rivals. If they can get some separation from this tightly bunched pack in that last column, playoffs might not be a pipe-dream afterall.

Pictures, logos, and the occasional quotes used here are the intellectual property of other folks (unless otherwise noted) of considerably more productive imagination than the author of the original stuff read here, which is our very own.
